Weight Loss Surgery as a foster parent

[KR94]

I have recently had weight loss surgery privately and did not feel comfortable telling my fostering supervisor about this. It has been a few months now and wondering if i come clean about it will i get into trouble for not telling them. I long term foster two brothers who were unaware of my surgery as i told them i was going on holiday with friends and they were looked after by my partner.

I wonder why you're considering sharing this information now and not at the time?
My local authority would probably feel that this constitutes a breakdown of trust, anything that happens in a foster carer's life that may have an impact on their care of a child should be shared with your fostering officer.
All you actually needed to share was that you were having some elective surgery and would be out of action for X amounts of weeks. You didn't need to go into details

To be honest, id still rather not tell them but worried about it coming up on my next medical which i didnt think about at the start

Ah that makes sense
If you do decide to share I'd personally keep it low key. Just mention it as an elective operation you had while on holiday ( could be dental stuff in Turkey or a termination, really no concern of your fostering officer what it was) If he / she presses maybe you could say something along the lines of what it was but that you're very sensitive about it and don't want the whole of the fostering office knowing
